Bug Description

When adding headings in LibreOffice under "Styles and Formatting" the Heading numbering is 1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.
Although this is not a big deal it is odd... Or is there a higher logic behind this?

Thanks a lot for reporting this as a papercut. I have confirmed that this bug is present in LibreOffice Writer. It seems to me that heading numbers are being ordered by a dumb algorithm, and so the '1' and the '10' are being placed side by side since they both start with '1'. I will report this bug upstream for the time being and confirm this as a papercut since the fix seems to be to add few couple of conditional loops to the system for ordering the heading numbers.

When one opens up LibreOffice Writer and opens 'Format' -> 'Styles and Formatting', it can be seen that the 'Heading 10' appears between 'Heading 1' and 'Heading 2'. This I believe is simply due to the algorithm that determines the order of these entries not being aware of the precedence of 10 over 9 in a numerical sequence, and is placing 'Heading 10' in it's present location because it starts with a 1.
